Large Pores

Large Pores

What are large pores?

Large pores can often be unsightly, especially if blocked with debris, dirt, and bacteria.

We need our pores but some people with thicker, oilier skin tend to have larger pores. This can be hereditary or caused by blackheads and acne. As the pores block with debris such as keratin, dirt, and bacteria, the thickened oil builds up, swells the pore, and expands it.

What can be done?

Regular cleansing removes debris and excess oil. Anti-aging skin care products including antioxidants such as vitamin C help to increase collagen and elastin. Retinols help to reduce keratin and debris.
